Mother's Best Flower brings you Hank Williams.
I got me a feeling called the blues, Lord, just gonna maybe say goodbye.
Lord, I don't know what I'll do, Lord, all I do is sit and sigh.
Oh, Lord James, I mean Louis.
Now watch it now.
The millers of Mother's Best Flower, Mother's Best Farm Fees, and Mother's Best Self-Rising,
Cornmeal bring you the one and only lovesick blues boy, Hank Williams.
All the Mother's Best music makers, and yours truly Mother's Best, little old boy.
Have a good morning, everybody.
Everywhere.
How about this one?
Good morning, friends.
Ain't that wicked?
Now, Grant Turner's not the only one that's sung on the radio.
Tell him, Tom.
We's ready, ain't we?
Yeah, man, we really full of pep.
It's 7.15 in this Monday morning.
That's right.
That means Momma's, I mean Mother's Best Flower.
Call it Momma if you want.
Momma, Mothers, it don't make no difference.
Just look for that Mother's Best.
When you get that, then you got the best.
Friends, this morning we're gonna start off with a number here that we had the pleasure of recording here a few months ago under a different name,
under a very good friend of ours.
In fact, I even sleep with him every day and night.
A fellow by the name of Luke the Drifter, which in one of my other characters is Luke.
We'd like to do it for you.
You can get this on MGM Records if you care to have it.
I think it's one of the finest things that's ever been written.
It was wrote by Fred Rose.
I dreamed about Momma last night.
I've just been to heaven with someone so true.
I dreamed about Momma last night.
She read me the Bible like she used to do.
I dreamed about Momma last night.
She never closed her eyes and sleep till we were all in bed.
And on party nights till we came home she often sat and read.
But we little thought about it then cause we were young and gay.
Just how much Momma worried when we children were away.
We only knew she never slept when we were out at night.
And that she waited just to know that we'd all come home all right.
Why sometimes when we'd stayed away till one or two or three,
it seems to us that we could hear the turning of the key.
For always when we stepped inside she'd call and we'd reply.
But we were all too young back then to understand the reason why.
Until the last one had returned she'd always keep alight.
For Momma couldn't sleep until she'd kissed us all goodnight.
She had to know that we were safe before she went to rest.
She seemed to fear the world might harm the ones she loved the best.
And once she said when you were grown to women and to men,
perhaps I'll sleep the whole night through.
I may be different then.
And it seemed that night and day we knew a mother's care.
For always when we got back home we'd find her waiting there.
Then came the night that we were called together round her bed.
The children are all with you now, the kindly doctor said.
And in her eyes there gleamed again that old time tender light
that told that she'd been waiting just to know that we were all all right.
She smiled that old familiar smile and prayed to God to keep
our children safe from harm throughout the years.
And then Momma went to sleep.
My dream is a treasure that I'll always keep.
I dreamed about Momma last night.
You know, man, old man, only it's crisp.
That's right, only crisp.
And they're good feeling mornings when you get up and that cool air
goes to hitting you and make you jump around.
There's nothing like a plate full of piping hot biscuits to make a man feel like singing and dancing.
Now you know the kind of biscuits I mean, rich, light, fluffy, the sort of biscuit,
the biscuit that is that the South is famous for.
And friends, you can give your family them kind of biscuits every time if you just be sure and bake with Mother's best flour.

All right. That's the Mother's best blues, ain't it, Louie?
Me and you got to talk a little bit while Burhead over here retunes his gore.
Oh, something happened to the gore?
No, he's going to render us this morning with a very unreasonable or unusual or unwatched.
Maybe one of these rare numbers.
Maybe his wife's been keeping sugar in that gore.
Something like that.
Sugar in the gore.
You want me to tune it or you going to tune it? You about ready?
We can have a bass fiddle solo from Henry J. Rainwater.
No, we ain't going to have that. We're going to have a solo out of Burhead, Jerry McEwen, 1A, Ex Laundroman, Rivers.
Is that right, Ex Laundroman?
He's ready now. Here he is. Burhead, Jerry Rivers and the Black Mountain Rag.

How about that, huh?
Burhead, I'll tell you right now. That youngin can just...boy, he can tear a fiddle up, can't he?
He just lays his head back there and takes off.
This gore's the war, I'll guarantee you. Jerry Rivers and the Black Mountain Rag.
Well, friends, right now it's him time on our mother's best show.
I'd like to say thanks to all you good folks for your cards and letters. We're always glad to hear from you.
This morning, me and a couple of the boys are going to sing a song here that was wrote by a boy that used to be here at WSM.
Every morning, a boy by the name of Johnny Bales.
Awful good song. I hope you'll like it.
It's called, I Heard My Savior Call.

Thank you, boys. Well, neighbors, we want to talk about real southern cornbread, real southern hushpuppies.
Your family loves them, don't they? And for the best cornbread and hushpuppies, try Mother's Best, the corn meal that's twice clean.
Washed with water, washed with air to give you that real fresh corn flavor. Get Mother's Best corn meal, either regular style or the easy to use self-rising today.
Whatever you do, makes your other corn meal you buy as Mother's Best.
Well, sir, I won't tell you, ladies. A lot of you have been asking me how you make hushpuppies.
There's a wonderful recipe on the back of each one of those cartons or sacks of Mother's Best corn meal that tells you exactly how to make the finest cornbread or hushpuppies that your family ever tasted.
Now, if you want the old Louis-Buck touch in there, what I like is a little ground up onion, kind of strong on the onion.
I don't know what you mean.
Now, if you do, catfish on the side. Now, if you put a little of that ground up onion, kind of go heavy on that onion.
James Locker could go for a little of that.
Yeah, he's getting hungry. Just look at him, man. Sitting there getting hungry by the minute.
He's drooling like a ghoul, ain't he?
When he gets hungry, he's hungry, too.
Well, boys, I guess it's about time for us to take out the bugles and the gourds.
In other words, you mean we've been here about as long as we're welcome, ain't we?
Yeah, than we're welcome.
Well, friends, for the morning, we'd like to say thanks for listening.
So, boys, you better get your cheese hooks, your gourds, your bugles, and your banders.
This morning, we got our puny guitar picker and our antique bass knocker back with us.
So until the end of morning, this is Hank Williams saying, take care of yourself.
And most heifers, we'll stop some gravy in a minute, son.
Louis?
Friends, fast growth, low feed cost, smooth finish, and two good litters a year,
that's what every hog grazer wants.
But it's next to impossible to accomplish this from feeding grain alone
or grain in a single protein supplement.
The thing to do is feed your hogs a well-balanced scientific ration
like Mother's Best 40% Hog Supplement with grain.
Mother's Best 40% really pushes hogs along fast because it contains all the essential feed elements
plus antibiotic feed supplement.
See your Mother's Best dealer now about a supply of Mother's Best 40% hog supplement.
Now, two dealers in this area are Hillis Hardware in McMinnville, Tennessee,
and Hancock Feed and Seed Company over there in Fayetteville.
You folks that live close to McMinnville, go into Hillis Hardware.
You folks around Fayetteville, go into Hancock Feed and Seed Company
and ask them about that Mother's Best 40% hog supplement.
Time's all gone, neighbors. We'll see you in the morning at this same time.
This is Cousin Louis Bucks saying the best of everything to you,
and that's Mother's Best. Goodbye now.
